Styles, many times. As many have said, not my favourite - but it's a solid classic and informs so much later stuff.

Putting the SEMs this early in the module and then *not changing the questions* is utterly ludicrous and is bound to give everyone worse scores. It gets right on my goat, I can tell you...

I was going to turn this into a pissing contest and say every GWR train I've ever caught has been fantastic compared to regular use of Cross-Country, EMR and Northern, but I think we can all agree that *all* the train networks in this country are complete dogshit, so solidarity to everyone!

This year lots of companies are not even bothering to pretend anymore. I can't decide if that's a good or bad thing...

Showing my students clips of this show in my Classics and TV module is one of the greatest experiences. Seeing which ones look on in awe, and which in utter bewilderment.
